Common Questions about Back Pain Relief
Reimer Wellness Center of Los Altos, CA, is a leading chiropractic center specializing in holistic approaches to healing. Back pain is a common problem for many, and can not only be uncomfortable, but it can also be debilitating. Fortunately, there are a number of proven, non-invasive, and holistic treatment techniques and therapies that can help a person suffering from back pain.
How Did I Get Back Pain?
A number of underlying diseases can cause back pain, although in most cases, back pain results from overuse, heavy lifting, prolonged sitting, and even poorly fitted shoes.
What Treatments for Pain Relief Are Available to Me?
A number of techniques and therapies we offer can provide relief from back pain, leading to complete back health and wellness. These include acupuncture, chiropractic therapy, massage therapy, Pilates, yoga, physical therapy, aerobic exercise, and others. In some cases, acupuncture, massage therapy, and physical therapy alone, or in combination, can work wonders for a bad back. In other cases, medications and supplements have proven useful. Vitamin D, which we primarily get from exposing our skin to the sun or in supplemental form, is especially helpful to maintain bone and back health.
Can Chiropractic Care Provide Relief?
Chiropractic care is commonly focused on the health and well-being of the spine and back. There is a firm body of literature that supports chiropractic treatment for back pain. A trained chiropractor may suggest spinal manipulation or mobilization techniques to relieve pain. Mobilization focuses on moving and stretching of the muscles and joints of the back. Manipulation is manually applied by the chiropractor on key vertebrae with the spine.
